1. The INSTALL file refers to 'sunos4shr' as a valid SunOS
   configuration. 'configure' rejects it. 'sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3' works
   fine.

2. The INSTALL should say that SunOS 4.1.4 (the most recent
   SunOS version, and probably the last one ever) works fine with
   'sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3'. Does it really? I'll see when I'm done.

3. The 18 MB tar file in the beta, when untarred, expands to
   'xemacs-19.15-b96/*'.
   However, the patch to b97 assumes everything is under
   xemacs-19.15. (Yes, I'm aware of the -p1 option to 'patch').
   I created a symlink. Maybe this should be documented somewhere.

4. Once I apply the b97 patch, should I rename the top-level dir to 
   'xemacs-19.15-b97' ?

5. A more general policy question: When one of the beta guys posts a patch,
   should I apply it, or wait for the next official bXXX patch?

Thanks,
   Amir.
